Example Question and Answer:

How does the carbon get into the fossil fuels we burn?

All living things are made of carbon. 300-400 million years ago living creatures in the sea died and settled on the seabed. Over time, the remains of these living creatures were buried under layers and layers of sand and silt. As they get deeper, the heat and pressure turns the remains into oil and gas. Today, humans dig deep into the ground to mine the oil and gas that has been left behind.

Try the Carbon Footprint Calculator to calculate your carbon footprint. NOTE: This calculator is for people living in the UK. For questions like “when you go on holiday, do you travel outside of the UK?” think about how this applies to your situation: do you travel outside of Azerbaijan? Do you stay in Baku? etc.
